Tom Sinkovitz, yet another refugee from beleaguered KRON, has joined NBC11, it was announced this afternoon.

Sinkovitz will serve as a political reporter and fill-in anchor for NBC11 News, according to station spokesperson Meredith Smith.

Sinkovitzâ€™s career began with the Armed Forces Vietnam Network when he was in Saigon in 1969. Before coming to the Bay Area 18 years ago, he anchored and reported in Pennsylvania, Cincinnati, Baltimore and Atlanta.

Sinkovitz was last seen as Pam Moore’s co-anchor on KRON’s late-night newcasts.
